Once Marlow leaves the Company’s Offices where the Accountant was, Marlow embarked on a 200 mile long walk with a caravan of 60 men toward the Central Station. It took 15 days to make the journey. Once he gets there, someone tells him that his steamer (boat) was at the bottom of the river. The immediately disheartens Marlow and he goes to see the Station Manager. The manager isn’t polite and inspired an “uneasiness” in Marlow. He stated that he was in the position of Manager because he had survived 9 years being out there (implying that qualification was to simply stay alive). Marlow begins to work on the boat and says “I went to work the next day, turning, so to speak, my back on the station. In that way only it seemed to me I could keep my hold on the redeeming facts of life.” What might this mean? What is he implying about the Company and those who work for it?
